COLLECTOR OF GANJUM TO BOARD OF REVENUE:

27.10.1823

(TNSA: BRP: Vol.967 Pro.6.11.1823 pp.9332-34 Nos.5-6)

1. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Mr
   Deputy Secretary Viveash’s letter and enclosure of the 25th July
   1822 and to forward for your Board’s information a statement
   partially showing the number of schools, etc., in this district
   made out agreeable to the form sent by your Board.


2. There are no schools or colleges in this district endowed
   by the Circar or by any public authority but the teachers are
   monthly paid by the scholars from 4 annas to 1 rupee for each
   man.


3. The schools are usually opened from 6 o’clock in the
   morning until 5 o’clock in the evening.


4. The Bramins of Agraharums, etc., are in general
   educated in Sastrums, etc., by their Fathers or Brothers or by
   any other relations but no schools in this district are publicly
   opened for such occasion.


5. In making out the enclosed statement I have not been
   able to procure any satisfactory accounts from most of the Hill
   Zemindaries. Nothing but vodiahs is taught in these places, a
   language, merely confined to the mountains and borders.

Chicacole, P.R. Cazalet,
27th October 1823. Collector
